  • Remember Dick Weber and Dick Weber Lanes Andrew Theising
    VOLUME 36 JULY 2018 NUMBER 3 Remember Dick Weber and Dick Weber Lanes Andrew Theising RICHARD ANTHONY (DICK) WEBER moved to Florissant in 1955, a time when the city was experiencing unprecedented suburban growth and was a hot spot of suburban living. He moved here from Indianapolis, where his day job was being a letter carrier for the United States Postal Service. He came to St. Louis to join the Budweiser bowling team and instantly dominated the sport. In 1966, he joined forces with Robert W. Timme to open Dick Weber Lanes, a popular 32-lane bowling alley that was often the site of national tournaments and Professional Bowlers Association events. The building was located across from Our Lady of Fatima Church at 4575 Washington Street and was in a growing part of town. Most of the land in the area around Dick Weber Lanes was originally part of the Arkes Farm. Ed Arkes, a lifelong resident of Florissant and longtime volunteer at Old St. Ferdinand’s, lived on the last remaining acre of the family Dick Weber in 1986. farm until his death in 1995.

With a 921% growth rate during the decade, Florissant was one of the fastest growing cities in the United States in the 1960 census. Major subdivisions were being built on all sides of Old Town, particularly to the southeast. The first was the Duchesne subdivision, which consisted of 179 lots built by the Vatterott family starting in 1946. Subsequent additions to that development added over 200 more homes.
